Work protect - admin settings in Portal?

Hi,
Is there any config for switching on work protect mode?
I have a 2 portals with ESS ERP2004 that behave differently. eg under Personal Data > Address Data if I make a change and hit exit
Portal 1
I get a pop up box asking if I want to continue and loose changes
Portal 2
a new portal is kicked off leaving the edited address open in the orginial window.
I'm guessing this might be due to different setting in work protect mode but not sure where the setting is.
TIA
J

hi,
Are you asking where the work protect feature has to be changed?
Go to personalize link - > work protect mode.
1. protect unsaved data
2.choose action in popup on unsaved data
3. discard unsaved data.
select any and restart the browser.
There is also workprotect apis

Portal Work Protect mode is not working properly after upgrade to NW 7.4

The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data")
When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup.
Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window.
This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
Please let me know if anyone have faced this issue before or have an resolution.
Thank you.

Hi Sundar & Rakesh
I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
** Scenario Summary **
The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
Work Protect Mode

Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
Kindly update me as per your findings.

Hi
Click the personalize option in the masthead of the Portal default framework page. A popup opens and in the detailed navigation of the popup, the last option is work protect mode.
The four option in it are as follows:
Use default portal setting

Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)
Choose action in popup on unsaved
Save and refresh the browser for the change to take effect.

Acrobat 8: JobOptionsFolder / PDF Admin Settings in Windows registry

Hello,
Systems are Windows XPSP2, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
We would like to share *.joboption files via a readonly server share (W2K3 Server).
In the windows registry we find two values with the default path to the *.joboptions files:
1. HKLM\Software\Adobe\PDF Admin Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
2. HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\ , JobOptionFolder (Reg_SZ)
both registry values point to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\"
When we change these values to "\\server\share\", which is write protected by security settings, and copy the installed *.joboption files to this location, all seems to work fine.
The users joboptions directory found here:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
we would like to leave as is.
Will we run in troubles, if we share *.joboptions files as described? Problems known with readonly joboptions on a server share?
Thanks & Regards,
Roland

Customizing the work protect mode

Hi,
I have a problem in customizing the sap providing work protect mode. When I activate the work protect mode, a pop up is coming up and the default radio button selected is to open the unsaved data in a new window. Can you please let me know can we change the default selection by any option like
1. modifing the com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. par file
2. By any configuration. etc..
please help me .
Regards,
Rambabu

I don't think there is a configuration available to change the default selected radio button.
You will need to make the changes in the par file com.sap.portal.epcf.admin.par
u2022 Download the com.sap.portal.epcf.admin.par
u2022 Unzip the com.sap.portal.epcf.admin_core.jar and edit the WorkprotectPopup class

Work Protect Mode for IAC/BSP iViews

Does anyone know how I can enable Work Protect Mode for BSP or IAC iViews in the portal?
It works correctly as per the desired mode level for WDP iViews, but when a user makes changes on a form on a BSP/IAC and navigates away from the page, no pop-up appears.
Is some JavaScript required in the BSP to set the page as "dirty" or to subscribe to the Work Protect event handler in the portal, or is there a simpler way to enable this or a similar feature?
Thanks,
Tom

Hello friends,
I have same issue.. I have applied Work Protect Mode to 3.. but it doesn't work for IAC iViews.
Is your issue resolved by any mean..
I cant apply Java script code on every back-end application...
the issue again... is this doesn't come when user directly logs in through ITS. over there user gets the alert. but only when user moves from Portal the work protect mode doesn't.
It became very urgent issue.
I appreciate any help..

Work Protect Mode Pop up

Hi,
I would like to get the source for the Work Protect Mode pop up that we see in the portal.
Can anyone point out where can I get the actual source code?
Regards
J

Hi Kai,
Thank you for the response...
I am not sure of the location of the text you suggested, but I found that
text is maintained in CL_FPM_CONFIRMATION_REQUEST abap class. this text is divided in to two text 1) This application contains unsaved data which may be lost. and 2) Do you want to continue without saving the changes? And append this is the class constructor.
We can change the text here... But thought changing the text is not a solution for my issue, so I need to address the root cause....
I contacted SAP (raised an OSS message) and working with them on this, as of now we modified our logic in Value Determination BADI and it is working fine 90%
Update: modified Value determination BAdi and V_T77SP_2 table entry to solve this issue!
Thanks,
Pradeep

Work Protect Mode with BSP in EP 6.0 SP14

Hi,
we need to create a BSP application that runs in a EP portal. We have many BSP pages in this application, each requiring a lot of user input.
It would be really helpful to send a reminder to the user once he leaves a page and clicks another entry in the portal menu.
We understand that the "work protect mode" does this trick in NW2004s under certain circumstances (i.e. "dirty flag").
Is there any chance to build this behaviour also in the combination of a ABAP AS 6.40 (for the BSPs)with an EP 6.0 ?
We would appreciate any help on this topic.
Regards
Marcus

Hi,
Does that drop down list change results in a reload of the page with new data on? If so, you should set the variable for confirm to exit after the reload.
If there is no reload involved, the msg shouldn't show up. If lots of pages with drop down which work like this.

Default setting of the Work Protect Mode property

Hi,
can we set the default work protect mode to a particular value for every user in portal.
Where we would have to make the changes in Portal.
Best Regards
Sid

Hi Sid,
You can set the default work protect mode in the epcfloader service configuration.
Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration, and edit the epcfloader service configuration.
Change the workprotect.mode.default to the setting you like:
1 = Protect unsaved data by opening a new browser window (standard setting)
2 = Unsaved data is lost
3 = Required behavior can be selected each time the popup appears
If you don't want your users to be able to override this setting in personalization dialog, set workprotect.mode.personalize=off.

Work Protect Mode for transactional iView...

Hi Experts,
Please help me to understand significance and features of Work Protect mode in portal.
How to implement it.
But main point is, is it possible to implement Work Protect Mode in Transactional iViews, i.e. let say we have created one transactional iView for SU01 tcode, which opens in New Window.
Now if I directly close that window then ideally one popup should come telling the data is not saved.
Also let me know if there is any other way to achieve my requirement.
Appreciate for help.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
Kindly suggest what vaue we should give in this property "workprotect.mode.default".
I was going through one link : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/37/50fb5066f9db43b3b5d5fc8de0c051/content.htm]
Also are you sure this setting will enable WorkProtectMode for Transactional iView as well.

Enable Work-Protect-Mode in BEx-WEb

Hello,
I am using integrated planning in the SAP EP 6.
Every time someone clicks on the portal navigation all changes get lost, unless the planning app was saved before.
Is there a way in Bex Web to activate the dirty-flag and the work protected mode? This way the Portal itsself would recoginze changed data and prevent the loss of data.
regards,
Michael Kulhanek

Hello Michael,
just check the OSS 0734861.
enter value "3" for workprotect.mode.default. perhaps this will help.
best regards,

Work protect Feature?

hi,
Please explain work protect feature in Portal. I am new to portal. please explain in detail
Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,
To avoid losing unsaved data when navigating from one iView to another, the SAP Enterprise Portal provides the work-protect mode. Having unsaved data in an application is also called dirty state. In this feature you can protect unsaved data by setting a page flag that causes new objects to open in new windows during navigation.
Some more info...
Workprotect mode is a feature of the portal framework which can be used via javascript API by the applications which are running in the portal. This javascript API is the EPCM file.
If you want to use the workprotect mode of the portal you have to define a variable in your javascript which will hold the status of the dirtyFlag.
var dirtyFlag = false;
Now u can tell the portal that you will take part of the workprotect mode by subscribing to a special event of the portal.
epcm.subscribeEventReliable("urn:com.sapportals.portal:workprotect","inquiryProtection",window,"my_protectionHandler");
Now define a javascript function:
function my_protectionHandler( event ){
return dirtyFlag;
What will happen:
You have subscribed to an portal event which will be thrown when the user will navigate. In order that the portal knows which javascript function it must call to the your dirtyFlag you tell him the name of your function, ie. my_protectionHandler.
The only thing is now that you have to set the dirtyFlag depending on your business.
This is the workprotect function for portals.
Regards,
Pooja.

FPM and Work Protect Mode

Hi Gurus,
Need your help with an issue I am facing.
I need to implement Work Protection in a custom ESS appl. I read in the forum/ help that FPM itself manages WorkProtection/ Confirm Loss-of-Work for ESS applications.
However, It doesn't prompt for 'saving' data in my case. I am not able to figure out a way to incorporate it?
Any idea how to implement it? I did go through the FPMComponent in xsfpm dc. But, am not sure how to implement it in my application.
Thanks in advance.
Anjana R.

Hi Ayyapparaj, Thanks.
I am on NW04 SP 21. And Work Protect Mode works on the standard ESS applications.
I am not sure how to implement work protection in my application or how to trigger the Standard Work Protect confirmation dialog window.
I created a custom Confirmation window, but the client wants it to be consistent with the standard Work Protect Pop Up.
I did set the isDirty to true and turned on the "Prompt to save work" option on Portal. But, still doesnt work.
Could you please help me with this?
Anjana R.
